To solve for w, we need to isolate w on one side of the equation.

−0.1w + 23.2 = −0.8

First, let's subtract 23.2 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term 23.2:

−0.1w = −0.8 - 23.2
−0.1w = -24

Next, to isolate w, divide both sides of the equation by -0.1:

w = -24 / (-0.1)
w = 240

Therefore, the solution is w = 240.
